Neurofeedback effectiveness

[Guest guest]

I am just a consumer, not a neurofeedback practitioner, so perhaps this is not

the correct place to ask this but I can not find another group that might be

more appropriate.

My 40 year-old adopted son was labeled " slow " and had numerous behavioral issues

as a child. As an adult, he does well if supervised but poorly on his own and is

too high functioning to receive assistance. A Brainmap in Nov. 09 showed a TBI

Probability Index 85% Severity 3.54 on the left side. So far, he's completed

fifty sessions of neurofeedback. Improvement has been minimal at best. A second

Brainmap shows decrease in anxiety but it hasn't manifested itself in his

overall behavior very much. It's same stuff, different day. His practitioner is

recommending 30 more sessions " to accomplish what we set out " .

I understand that not everyone benefits from neurofeedback. At what point can

that be determined? I don't want to spend more money for something that isn't

working.
